The 242.9sqm building is double the size of its previous office in Carden Place and will accommodate 13 members of SBP staff.

The office move comes following three years of growth for the business which has seen the client base, fees and staff numbers more than triple.

SBP increased its Aberdeen customer base following a takeover of Andrew Philip Accountants in 2015.

Since then client numbers have risen from 250 to 850, with annual client fees boosted by nearly £600,000 and staff numbers growing from four to 13.

SBP currently has 35 employees and six partners across its four bases in Aberdeen, Peterhead, Fraserburgh and Banff.

SBP managing partner John Hannah said: “We have been looking for larger premises in the west end of Aberdeen for a number of years so it’s a great move for the business.

“After a successful few years, we were bursting at the seams in Carden Place so the timing is right for us. We have purchased the granite building and carried out a full refurbishment creating a superb home for SBP as we continue to expand our client base and our team in the city.

“Although we have been operating in a difficult market in recent years, we have been aggressive with our growth strategy through acquisitions which have increased our customer base and staff numbers.”

The accountancy firm says it still has further acquisition plans as well as growing the business organically and plans to increase its head count before the end of the year.
